With over 20 miles of white sandy beaches, it’s hard not to get caught up in the wild beach bar vibe that envelopes Panama City Beach. The beach hosts a half million Spring Breakers every year! It is Party Central, but not this week…

It’s the week before Thanksgiving and Panama City Beach is a virtual Ghost Town. Like most resorts in Florida, the warm gulf beach is dotted with towering condos and hotels along the entire length but no one is here this time of year. We drive past massive condo projects with only a half dozen cars in the parking lot, some of the bars, shops and restaurants are closed for vacation.

We are staying at the Panama City Beach RV Resort with concrete pads and brick paver roads. It is a beautiful, small park just across the street from the Gulf of Mexico. The weather here is perfect for a stroll along the beach and some time spent wandering through the shops. It’s a great time of year to enjoy the northern Florida beaches without the crowds. If you would rather have the excitement of crowded beaches and all night parties you will need to come here anytime from March through September.
